After investigating, we discovered a power outage damaged our transfer switch, leaving our data center running on generator power.

I knew this was an opportunity for us to learn and get better.
Great teams learn from their successes and failures by continuously reflecting and refining processes and practices.

En 2020, ese horror, hemos tenido una buena remesa de ediciones de #jazz de #archivo. Ha habido mucha cosa buena, incluido esto de @DotTimeRecords, con dúos de #piano y piano/batería de #LennieTristano. dottimerecords.com/product/lennie…. ¿Cómo viene #2021? 1/5
De momento, con buenas perspectivas. La misma gente de DotTime prevé sacar un inédito de #Tristano en trío en directo. Se anunciará aquí: dottimerecords.com/product-catego… 2/5
Más: #MaRainey ha vuelto al candelero y habrá reedición seria de sus grabaciones completas, incluyendo inéditos. Del sonido se encarga commodorestudio.com. Dados sus precedentes (King Oliver, Wolverines en Archeophone), se puede apostar a ciegas (¿a sordas?). 3/5

It’s my last day, friends! Let’s talk all things #SciComm Comedy today (standup, comedic storytelling, improv, sketch, humor writing, & more).
I’ll dig into using it for reframing “the expert” & empowering underheard perspectives in #STEM

It's theory vs practice day!
There are loads of resources out there for #BestPractices. Today, let's discuss the strengths & limitations YOU've found in trying #STEM #storytelling, #comedy, #SciArt, #digital, & more!

I'll start w/ my favorite resources: @edbeltane & @OliverEscobar's "Public Dialogue & Delibration" & #WendyFaulkner's "Dialogue in #PublicEngagement" handbooks.

These have been crucial in my understanding of #experiencedesign when creating events or experiences for diverse #scicomm audiences & participants.
There's a purpose for panels and debates. But also a reason why they fail in "changing minds" or creating power-balanced convos.

It's me, @kylemarian! I'm excited to start a new week of conversations here with y'all.
I'm a #SciComm consultant w/ a passion for creating intersectional, interdisciplinary, & inclusive communities & experiences. This week we're covering practice, failure, strategy, & #comedy!

A lil more about my #science background: I'm a former #physicalanthropologist who studied the Indonesian "hobbit" species #Homofloresiensis. I also taught dissection-based human gross anatomy and excavated w/ friends in #Atapuerca #PinilladelValle Spain.

My #SciComm training started w/ the @AldaCenter using acting-based #improv to finetune my sense of creating together w/ others & actively listening. Then I took a career pivot towards taking my MSc in #SciComm & #PublicEngagement at @EdinburghUni w/c led me to @BrightClubEDN!
When I started #improv, I never intended to perform. Just signed up for a class with @ImprovNeil having heard it was fun, and feeling like it might be a good life skill.
I always had stage fright growing up, even just for music recitals, so thought I'd never be able to do any drama or public speaking. (This seems very funny now.)
But the improv class was amazing, really freeing to start to be able to shut off my inner critic. It immediately translated to me feeling less anxiety at work, too, and getting a better perspective on failure.
